Winter Fun Awaits at the Festival of Lights

You'll get to see Disney favorites through the years -- Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and so many more.

This particular display is located in front of Victoria Place and is a true holiday classic!

There's a Canadian and American flag display, gorgeous floral displays, and even wildlife displays -- including a world-renowned Noah's Ark display. During the duration of the festival, the lights come on at 5 pm. It is free of charge to drive through and see the displays, although donations are encouraged. Any donations received go towards the improvement and advancement of the gorgeous and entertaining lights.
